Rollicking and hard-charging good time set closer after a brain-melting Playin'.

Black Throated Wind

San Antonio Civic Auditorium
In spite of muffled sound in need of a cleanup, this one has all the swagger and triumph of the best of '72. BTW fans take heed!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Nov. 24, 1972
Dallas Memorial Auditorium
Surprised not to see this here. The trans has extra oomph to it and the band sails along in perfect sync. Great fun.

Brown Eyed Women

Dallas Memorial Auditorium
Pristine and fun. There's a cogent, almost album-tight quality to it.

Loser

Austin Municipal Auditorium
The mix is off at first, vocals lost, but hang in there and you'll hear one of Jerry's most heavy metal solos on Loser ever. Absolute shredder.

Sugaree
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena
Keith is glorious throughout this beauty. I'll admit when I see a 14 minute Sugaree there's a part of me that says 'uh-oh, hope it doesn't drag....' But this is just pristine throughout: Hot jams, clear ideas and solos, with mindbending guitar effects that think are the first-ever for their kind. And that Godchaux fella tickling the keys. Nice one!
Its All Over Now

Winterland Arena
After two shaky songs to start the first set Bobby comes steaming in with this beauty.
Morning Dew
Feb. 27, 1977
Robertson Gym, UC Santa Barbara
For any era for Morning Dews this is top shelf. Drops on the heads out of nowhere, capping off a good - but not necessarily great - 2nd set.
Dark Star
Feb. 18, 1971
Capitol Theater
Music to practice levitation to. Also the best damn Rat Sandwich you'll probably ever eat.
St. Stephen

Robertson Gym, UC Santa Barbara
The 'bell-ringing' chimes section of the last solo before the out-chorus is top notch, but this one otherwise drags a bit to start.
